<p>Rating: 3 stars</p><p>Going with AnyEvent/EV was a costly mistake for our project. Due to our particular circumstances (tight schedule/funding), we were relatively intolerant of bugs showing up in the platform and one did:
<br><br>Timer events were getting lost under heavy load.
<br><br>Ordinarily, we would have contacted the author to work through the problem but two things mitigated against this:
<br><br>1) We just couldn't risk our critical path to someone not directly answerable to our project.
<br><br>2) We would benefit by going to mulitcore anyway.
<br><br>We went ahead and opted for an IPC approach. The rewrite took 2 weeks.</p>James Bowery2013-08-24T09:15:22James Boweryhttp://cpanratings.perl.org/dist/jabowery#8248
<p>Rating: 4 stars</p><p>I had to add a new Norm to utilize the popcnt instruction available on newer processors, but the way this module source was set up, adding the call to the gcc built-in function: int __builtin_popcount (unsigned int x) was a breeze.</p>James Bowery2011-02-20T15:02:42
